Chapter 56: The Skeleton Returns
Deep in the Tianmen Plain, in the White Rhino Valley.
The waterhole still exists, unchanged for twenty years, and in the darkness of the night, you can still see rhinoceros resting in the jungle not far away.
As for the cave, the entrance to the cave had been unattended for a long time, and the cobwebs had completely covered it, and the bottom of the valley was a little scary.
When the moon rose to mid-heaven, the pool of water suddenly rippled, and the water in the pool began to rotate slowly, very slowly, and the sound was even smaller and undetectable.
At this moment, the edge of the pool suddenly stretched out a bone hand, yes, it is indeed a bone hand, if someone is here, you will find that this bone hand has blood-red lines, like a strange meridian.
Then he stretched out a bone hand, but this bone hand was very normal, and there was no blood-colored pattern of the previous one at all.
The two hands kept climbing up, and before long the owner of the bony hand revealed himself, which turned out to be a skeleton.
Except for the blood-colored streaks on his right hand, the rest is the same as a normal skeleton.
A red glow began to flicker in his hollow eyes.
Poof! The red light burned instantly, and a flame rose in his hollow eye sockets.
He stood there for a long time, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and seemed quite impatient, he turned his head to look at the hole behind him, the fire in his eyes jumped, and he took a few steps back in fear.
He looked around for a while, and suddenly his legs bent and jumped out, if Liu Li was here, he would definitely be surprised, because this jumping method was exactly the same as what Nangong Li taught.
The skeleton kept jumping, leaving the valley in the night, in one direction, as if purposeful.
But the direction he was traveling in was where Liu Li and the others rested.
For two hours, he walked for two hours with this jumping way of walking, and at this moment he finally came to the jungle where Liu Li and the others were.
The only thing he had left of his consciousness was a familiar feeling, and he searched for it carefully.
Suddenly there was a fire in front of him, he jumped towards the fire at great speed, and suddenly saw the four people fall to the ground, he slowly approached the four people and inspected them one by one, he knew that one of the four people he was familiar with, the resonant sound that went straight to the blood, made the flame jump in his eyes intensified.
Finally, when he saw Liu Li, a sense of surprise made him stop.
He squatted down and looked carefully at Liu Li's face reflected in the firelight, and he couldn't help but touch it.
It's him!
He nudged Liu Li's shoulder with his hand, trying to wake him up.
"Who's that?" Liu Li opened his eyes dimly, and found that it was a skeleton in his eyes, which made him ring out of the old man who had been cultivating the corpse before, thinking that it was a skeleton sent by the old man again.
Liu Li suddenly screamed in fright, and this scream suddenly woke up Gu Yang and the others.
He knew that something was wrong, his eyes jumped, and thousands of sparks appeared, and Liu Li fainted, he picked up Liu Li and left, without hesitation.
The three people who woke up only saw a white shadow kidnapping Liu Li, and they were immediately shocked.
"Who is that person, how did you take Liu Li away?" Long Xingtian said with some fear.
"No matter who it is, dare to arrest my brother, never forgive, chase. After Gu Yang finished speaking, he took the lead in chasing after him.
After the three of them finished speaking, they chased with all their might, but the skeleton man who robbed Liu Li was extremely fast, and the three of them couldn't catch up.
After chasing for half an hour, Gu Yang and the three of them had already tried their best, but the trace of the skeleton man was gone.
"No, that corpse cultivator controlled his puppet to run so far to rob Liu Li, he wouldn't be too troublesome!" Long Xingtian said breathlessly.
"It's really weird, but he definitely can't run away, keep chasing, and he must catch Liu Li. Gu Yang gasped.
"Ahh
"If Liu Li died because we arrived one step late, can you feel at ease?" Gu Yang said to Long Xingtian.
"Gu Yang, I'm slow, following you will only delay the speed, you go first, and I will arrive later. Suan Ming was too tired to stand up, so he sat down under the tree and said.
"Okay, be careful, we'll come to you if you find Liuli. After Gu Yang finished speaking, he pulled Long Xingtian and left.
This chase continued until dawn, but at this time, Liu Li's trace had been completely lost, and Gu Yang could only follow in a general direction.
"It's not good now, they're completely gone, what now. Gu Yang was worried.
Long Xingtian looked around, and suddenly found a single-plank bridge in front of him, so he pointed to Gu Yang and said, "Big brother, look, there is a single-plank bridge in front. ”
"What?" Gu Yang was taken aback, he knew that there was a single-plank bridge in the words left by his father-in-law, and it was very likely that there were two brothers here, but he didn't expect to find a single-plank bridge by chance.
"Let's go, let's take a look. The two of them walked forward.
This single-plank bridge is erected between the cliffs of two mountains, about 100 meters long, the bridge body is made of countless dilapidated wooden planks, the fog rises under the bridge, the clouds and smoke are burning, I don't know how high the hanging geometry?
The mountain wind struck, and the bridge shook incessantly, and the timid people did not dare to set foot easily.
At this time, on the other side of the single-plank bridge, there is a thatched hut in the jungle, which seems to have been newly built not long ago, and there are two people in front of the door, one of them has a bald head, black eyebrows and round eyes, and his body is very strong, but his age is not very large.
The other person sat cross-legged on a stone, meditating with his eyes closed, he was slender, with a black suit, starry eyebrows and sword eyes, and the momentum on his body was even more powerful, plus the sword in his arms, the whole person added a dangerous atmosphere.
"Big brother, I'm hungry. The bald head complained to the sword-wielding man beside him.
"I won't look for food. The sword-wielding man spoke coldly, as if this was his own temperament.
"There's no meat, there's no wine, there's nothing, I eat wild fruits every day, I don't have the strength to eat all over my body, I'm uncomfortable, I'm not comfortable, I'm leaving. "The bald man has a temper tantrum like a child.
"Let's go, let's go!" he said, still cold, normal.
"Big brother, why do you want to listen to that old man, he told you to come here and you came, what's so good here, we've all been here for days, and we haven't even seen a bird, let alone people?"
At this time, the sword-wielding man opened his eyes and recalled the scene a few days ago.
A few days ago.
The two of them started a fire, roasted meat, and the smell came to his nose, and at this moment, two people came from the night, which couldn't help but make him vigilant.
When the bald man saw the two people coming, he immediately got up and yelled and said, "Well, I drove this road, this ......"
Before he could finish speaking, he was stopped by a man with a sword.
"What's wrong?" asked the bald head, puzzled.
"These two are not simple. He said with some solemnity.
"It's the smell of barbecue, it's so fragrant! It's cooked! I've been walking for so long, and I'm hungry, can you share a little bit with us." Shu Jiang said.
"Hey, you old man is so rude, why do we have to share the meat we roasted with you, no discussion, hurry up. Otherwise, I will taste the great axe in my hand. "The bald head is furious, meat is his love, whoever dares to interfere will cut whomever he wants.
"Boy, get out of here. Gu Jiuyang said with a glaring eye.
"I ...... I'm not afraid...... You. The bald head said weakly, he was a little scared when he was stared at by Gu Jiuyang.
The man with the sword was even more shocked.
"What are you here for?" said the sword-wielding man coldly.
"Jian Han. Shu Jiang looked at the man with the sword and said.
The man with the sword heard the other party say these two words, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, he took three steps back, pulled out his sword easily, and looked at Shujiang with a nervous face, and the bald man saw the eldest brother pull out the sword, and also raised the axe in his hand.
"Bone, this name is really ......" Shu Jiang looked at the bald man again.
"How do you know our names?" asked the bald man, standing with his axe, surprised.
"Don't ask me how I know your name, don't worry, we're here with no hostility, and you can lay down your weapons. Sit down and have a good talk. Shu Jiang said again.
Hearing what Xuan Jiang said, the bald man put down the axe and prepared to sit down, but when he saw that the eldest brother Jian Han was still vigilant, he retreated and stood with the axe.
"In that case, stand still! After Shu Jiang finished speaking, he picked up the barbecue unhurriedly, and at this time, his bones were in a hurry, and he ran up to take away the barbecue in Shu Jiang's hand.
"If you dare to eat my meat, I will fight with you. "Bones are furious.
"Boy, you give me a hand. Gu Jiuyang knew that he couldn't snatch the bones, so he stretched out his hand and made a move, and the fire immediately exploded, and the barbecue in the bones' hands fell.
was recruited by Gu Yang again, Gu Yang took the barbecue, tore off a piece from it and ate it himself, and then handed the rest of the barbecue to Xuan Jiang.
Shu Jiang shook his head and smiled, also tore a piece from it, and then handed most of the remaining part to the bone again.
The bones quickly dodged the barbecue, and with most of the remaining barbecue, tears flashed in his eyes, and he said to Jian Han with a distressed mouth: "Big brother, they are bandits, they robbed my barbecue, don't let them go." ”
Jian Han held the sword, but ignored the words of the bones, looked at Xuan Jiang and said, "The two of you have eaten, you should be satisfied! ”
"Wait, we didn't come thousands of miles to find you two to eat these two pieces of barbecue, this is also because we are really hungry. Shu Jiang said after eating.
"If there's a fart, let it go!" Jian Han said unceremoniously when he heard that the other party was still doing something.
Gu Jiuyang's eyes widened when he heard this, and he was about to make a move, but he was stopped by Shujiang.
"Can't young people be polite?" said Shujiang.
"We are indeed here to find the two of you, you Jian Han is a member of the Xuanjie Sword Clan, what I said is right!" Shui Jiang looked at Jian Han's expression after speaking.
"My name is Dao Han, I don't know what the Xuanjie Sword Clan is, you have found the wrong person. Jian Han still said coldly.
"It doesn't matter, what I want to say is that I know your ambitions, your ambitions, but I have to say that you alone, even if you add your brother, it is really not enough to see the biggest force in the Upper East Continent! I dare to conclude that if you go on like this, you will soon be wiped out by the Sword Clan, don't think how high your strength is, I know the Sword Clan better than you, and even better than your father. ”
"I don't have a father, no. Jian Han roared, his eyes were full of killing intent at this moment, startling the bones on the side, his breathing became short, and he looked at Jian Han with a frightened expression.
Bones suddenly remembered that he had asked his eldest brother Jian Han about it a few years ago.
"Big brother, I don't have parents, where are your parents?" asked Bones.
"I don't have parents. Jian Han suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed his neck desperately, and repeated this sentence while roaring wildly.
At that time, Bones didn't dare to ask Jian Han this sentence, it was also the first close contact death in his life.
That's why I said, you have no ambitions and ambitions, and if you want to achieve this, you will never be able to. Shu Jiang looked at Jian Han in a daze and said.
When Jian Han heard this, he retracted his killing intent, this sentence can be said to have hit his vital point directly, he asked himself countless times, whether his efforts would get results, he was afraid of this sentence, he was afraid that everything would be empty, and the words of the Jiang River were the only goal of his life.
Jian Han suppressed his killing intent, slowly calmed down his anger, and when everything calmed down, he raised his head again and looked at Xuan Jiang.
Xuan Jiang knew that Jian Han had listened to his words, and at this time he had to let himself continue.
"You...... You need a team with the same potential and qualifications as your team, because your goals are too big and you need them to help you achieve them. They have the same background and age as you, with potential, and without a background, a bunch of unpretentious young people. Shu Jiang said.
"Alright, it's time for us to go, thanks for the barbecue. Jian Han, oh, no, Dao Han, you are a smart person, think about my words! If you figure it out, go to Tianmen Plain, Snow Wind Realm, and find a young man surnamed Gu, I hope you can accept my suggestion. Shui Jiang got up.
"Who are you?" asked Dao Han.
"The big powers give me a supreme name, but I like it. I am the emperor - counting the river. After finishing speaking, Shui Jiang left with Gu Jiuyang.
